?'s for those that went to a teaching hospital for PS.
Hedi,
You look incredible !!!
Question for you: I look quite similar to your before picture and 1 of the three PS consults that I went to recommended a vertical insicion to pull the skin from around the sides as well as the lower abdominal incision. I do have a bit more of a pouch above my belly button. He said I was on the cusp of doing the vertical or not. He said if I didn't choose the vertical it may result in a little pouch because he would be pulling the skin only in the up and down direction. I really don't want a vertical scar. Did any of your consults recommend at vertical cut with the abdominal.

I honestly only consulted at Yale and then had them do the surgery, the doctor said no to the anchor cut even though I already had an open scar from my rny. He told me he could get a nice result with just the verticle cut and I believed him. I think it looks good, I am nearly 48 now, I wasn't expecting perfection but it is still nice and tight all these years later, its like a toy I like to take out and look at. lol

Dr Sauceda has great results. I'm a little bias, but I love my new body. My only regret is not having the UBL at the same time, Dr S recommended that I get it when I had my consult, I chose not to. Now, I hate the loose skin on my upper back, and will be going back in Jan. Dr S is afforable and the care you receive is more than you'll get in the states. The clinic has 24/7 nursing and Dr Sauceda is always as near as the phone, if he isn't the clinic. Having Dr Sauceda come to the hotel daily is another benefit, along with his nurse coming by daily to help you shower and dress your stitches and get you back into your compression garments.
I had a huge muffin top that he lipo'd with my LBL and no anchor cut. I also had the butt flaps inserted which rounded out my upper butt. Having the epidural instead of general meant I wasn't sick for a week after surgery. I was in recovery and felt great. Epi & twilight works great. My surgery was about 12 hrs.
